Well remember the biggest trouble for Holyfield going into the heavyweight division was that he didn't have the power to be a heavyweight....and he stopped Tyson. Now if we're comparing Tyson to Ali, well Tyson put himself in position to be stopped due to his style whereas Ali did not.

But I enjoy that the Tyson fans constantly dodge the issue as what would have happened in a fight vs Foreman. Was Foreman "old and slow" yeah...and he still became THE heavyweight champion (something Tyson never accomplished post prison...he had titles but never THE title, he was never considered "A #1 Duke of NY" after prison).

Riddle me this Tyson fans...when exactly was Mike Tyson's prime? If it was "before he left Rooney" then dear God he fought a lot of bums, no wonder he looked so damn invicible.
Thats because tyson didnt get to fight Michael moorer, Goerge comeback was planned perfectly, the only outstanding guy he fought was evander and he lost, and tyson has fought enough names in his prime to show us what he would do to just about anybody, michael spinks and bruno aren't exactly a list but after what he did to them, its hard to argue anyone else would do better, espeacially grilled sausage eating george


Oh and evanders big ass head stopped tyson
